Confiture
Confiture (/kɒnfɪˈtʊər/; from the French confiture) is a type of preserve made from a mixture of fruits or vegetables and sugar, cooked slowly until it reaches a jam-like consistency.
Etymology
The term confiture originates from the French word of the same spelling, which in turn is derived from the Latin conficere, meaning "to prepare". This is a combination of con-, meaning "together", and -ficere, from facere, meaning "to make".
